Now this is a bargain

Dropped in to Tricky Dickies today to try and find a replacement iphone cable and happened to peruse the camera stand. There was a nice little Japanese made Canon Ixus 230HS on sale for $51, reduced from $200. I enquired as to its cheapness and was told that it was a returned/refurbished model. I needed a camera to keep in the glovebox of my bomb Subaru, which doesn't lock too securely at the best of times. I said I would take a chance with the camera, seeing it has a full 12 months Canon warranty. I took the box to the front counter. Another surprise awaited; "This one has a further 50% discount!" Great value at $25.

Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

How can you go wrong with that?

The bloody memory card costs more than the camera!

Just trying to balance the times I've been mercilessly ripped off by retailers/manufacturers over the years!

You're not expecting to get there anytime soon, right?

Not in my lifetime. We can but try.

Quick shot of daughter #2 at ISO 1600. Not too bad for the cheapest of cameras, albeit with Digic 4 processor.
